The circle table is so efficient that the King negotiates peace with the Circumscribers and he dubs his twelve best knights the Knights of the Round table. An oval is suggested next, but the oval was too small and the knights kept bumping into each other.įinally, upon the suggestion of his son Radius, Sir Cumference makes the table a circle. He tries an Octagon but eight sides for twelve knights was did not work. Then he tires try a parallelogram, but the King was forced to sit at the point which stabbed him in the belly and made him want to fight, so Sir Cumference make a triangular table, but that was too small. First, he tries a square but that allowed the knights at the corners to gossip during their meeting. His wife Lady Di, from the town of Ameter suggests he fix the table. But the rectangular table was too long, and Sir Cumference had to shout to be heard by the knights at the other end of the table. When the troublesome Circumscribers start to threaten war on the peaceful kingdom King Arthur calls on his twelve best knights to try to find a way to prevent war. Sir Cumference and the First Round Table by Cindy Neuschwander is a charming reimagination of the knights of the round table.
